The National Science Centre invites for the fifth time Polish research institutions to declare commitment as potential Host Institutions to Dioscuri Centres of Scientific Excellence.
The deadline for submissions is 11 May 2026.
Announcement
Submissions meeting the formal requirements will be published alongside the Dioscuri 5th call announcement, thus helping researchers find the right research institution in Poland.
Researchers will be able to choose an institution from beyond the published list, provided that the institution meets all formal requirements and will commit to satisfy the basic conditions specified in the announcement.
For details of the Dioscuri programme and all formal requirements, see the Dioscuri web-page.
Webinars
Registering your institution as a potential host for an interdisciplinary Dioscuri Centre through this invitation will greatly increase your visibility and give foreign applicants the opportunity to get to know your institution. To support you in preparing your registration as a potential host institution and to give you a comprehensive overview of the Dioscuri Programme funding and application procedures, we will offer webinars during that period. We kindly invite you to take part in one of our three webinars (all webinars will contain the same presentation) scheduled for:
- 31.03.2026, 14-16 (in Polish)
- 08.04.2026, 10-12 (in English)
- 22.04.2026, 10-12 (in Polish)
- 06.05.2026 14-16 (in English)
To register for one of our webinars, please send an e-mail to malgorzata.jacobs-kozyra(at)ncn.gov.pl indicating your name, institution and preferred date. After successful registration via e-mail, you will receive a link to the event.
